My "Quilty Cookies". Buttery sugar cookies piped with royal icing and just a hint of lemon.
This past Saturday, I was a guest demonstrator at Hummingbird Sewing (Barrie, ON) for their "Notion Commotion"  and Janome Education event.  The event was lots of fun and because the ladies who own and run the store have been so good to me, I decided I would pay it forward and make some treats for their event. Thanks again to the "Fabulous" Sharon, Deb and Maureen.
I know how hard you ladies work to inspire your customers and I for one  appreciate it!  


Below is the flyer for this SOLD OUT event!

 Sugar Cookies Recipe


Ingredients:
1 cup butter
3 cup flour
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs
1 cup sugar
How to make them:
Mix together the first 5 ingredients until thoroughly mixed with a beater (about 5 minutes).  In a separate bowl mix the vanilla, sugar and eggs together.  Pour the vanilla, sugar and eggs mixture in with the first 5 ingredients and mix well. Separate dough into 2 discs and refrigerate for a minimum of one hour.  Roll out on a floured surface, cut with a knife (as I did) or cookie cutter and place on a parchment lined baking sheet.  Bake for 7-10 minutes at 350 degrees F.  Note: These are buttery cookies, but not too sweet. The royal icing really makes them tasty and well balanced. Icing is recommended.

Royal Icing Recipe

Ingredients:
4 TBSP meringue powder
scant 1/2 c. water
1 lb. powdered sugar
1/2 - 1 tsp light corn syrup
5 drops of lemon, vanilla or almond extract (optional)

How to make it:
Mix well with a blender until the icing is "pipe able" for the white icing (5 minutes or so) and "flood able" for the coloured icing (you will need to add more water) .  Add water in very small increments for best results. Use a piping/writing tip and piping bag for the white icing.  Do this at least 15 minutes before adding colour. Use  a squeeze bottle or flooding tip for the coloured icing after the white icing has had a chance to dry slightly.  Let the finished cookies sit out for about a 1/2 hour and then store in air tight containers in one layer overnight before serving. See some images below.
